On Monday, January 16, 2012, we lost our
friend Jimmy Castor, legendary singer, musician and composer of Doo Wop,
R&B, Soul, Latin and Funk music. We've detailed Jimmy's early career
in our article Richard Barrett
Part 5:
Louis Lymon&
Teenchords, Jimmy Castor & Juniors. You can click on that
link and read about Jimmy's first vocal group the Juniors, how he wrote the
Teenagers hit "I Promise To Remember," how he filled in for Frankie Lymon
and how he later sang with Louis Lymon & the Teenchords and so much more.
This page is a short photo tribute to Jimmy Castor. We miss you Jimmy.
